Delete Sec. 2-2-100. Work release program.
As a general practice,accepting individuals sentenced from other jurisdictions into the Work
Release Program is discouraged. I lowever, in order to promote positive relationships with other
faw enforcement agencies and the community, these individuals can be accepted at the Work
Release Supervisor's discretion and only under the following conditions:-
A. Travel to the place of business from the Sheriffs office must not exceed sixty (60)
miles, and this distance must be equal to or less than half the distance that the
individual would be required to travel if he or she were traveling from the jail at the
other jurisdiction. (NOTE: This will preclude a situation where WCSO accepts a
person from Colorado Springs who works in Denver. Since the distance to the job
site from either jail is the same, there would be no advantage to this arrangement.)
S. Space must be available in the Work Release Program.
C. The sentencing Judge and the Sheriff's office at the other jurisdiction involved must
agree that, if the individual is removed from the program because of an infraction
or failure to pay fees, the individual will be transported to the jail in the original
jurisdiction to finish his or her mittimus. This condition must be stated on the
mittimus before the individual will be accepted into the program. The Work Release
Supervisor will be responsible for coordinating this aspect of the agreement with the
court and the other law enforcement agency.-
D. In order to recover the cost of housing an inmate from another jurisdiction, work
release fees will be one hundred dollars ($100.00)per week, to be paid as follows
two hundred dollars ($200.00) on the day of entry into the program (of which one
hundred dollars [$100.00] applies to the first week and one hundred dollars
[$100.00] applies to the last week of the program), and one hundred dollars
($100.00)every week thereafter until the total fees are paid up. Failure to pay fees
will result in removal from the program. Adhering to a payment schedule such as
this will ensure that an individual always has work release fees paid up to a
minimum of one (1)week in advance. If an individual is removed from the program
due to a rule infraction or failure to pay fees, any money that has been paid in
advance will not be refunded. Instead, money paid in advance will be used to defray
the cost of transporting the individual back to the Sheriff's office at the original
jurisdiction.
E. In order to limit supervision problems, individuals who have employment that
requires frequent travel, irregular hours or no established place of business where
the supervisor or the individual can be contacted, will not be accepted.
F. Individuals accepted must comply with all other WCSO regulations as described in
